Audio editor. I use this mostly to extract songs from podcasts and save them as MP3 files. Free. link

Allows you to view how you are using up your hard drive. Shows each file as a small box. Helps you to see how you're using up all those gigabytes. Easy to use and free. link







Mac the Ripper
This program will allow you to rip most DVDs to your hard drive. You'll need another program to burn your DVDs. I use Toast, which is not free, but works great. Mac the Ripper is free. link

Firefox
In my opinion, Firefox is the best browser available. It's definitely better (and more customizable) than Safari. If you've never tried it, you owe it to yourself. Seriously. Free. link
